Abstract
ITS technologies are in the research and development around the world as a solution for maximizing the efficiency of the existing road infrastructure, solving the complex traffic problems and providing the convenient driving services. The core of these ITS technologies is to provide the information for the requesting users in fast and accurate way from the server. In real driving conditions, there are many communication barriers around the vehicles and the base stations so that an accurate and robust handover technology is needed in order to ensure seamless ITS services. This paper introduced an WAVE handover algorithm implemented in a real communication device and five parameters mainly affecting the handover performance are evaluated. The handover performance is measured by changing the parameter values at a highway testbed. The test results show that the handover algorithm parameter values should be configured carefully to remove the handover ping-pong problems.
